electronic voting machine should be banned.
I agree totally. Paper ballots with tight scrutiny and control. Ballot boxes have been stuffed in the past, but when monitored tightly, paper ballots, counted by hand is the best way to ensure an honest vote count.
Indeed, the words of this election official mandate a ban.
The official noted it is typical for recalibrations as much as three times on Election Day.
The average touch-screen computer, if free of virus, is capable of accurately crunching all sorts of info forever without "recalibration".
On what basis do official decide to "recalibrate", when people complain? If caused by a virus, HTH did it get the virus? Etc.
